TRANSHUMANISM

I have no idea what that means, but if you mean ‘increasing rates of reproduction of demonstrably superior genetic expressions, and decreasing rates of reproduction of demonstrably inferior genetic expressions’ then I understand that.

If you mean hubristic attempts to create superior genetic combinations rather than remove failed genetic combinations I think you’re either an idiot or dangerous or both.

If in addition you mean device-augmentation on the lines of wearing glasses and earplugs that overlay reality and dramatically increase our information availability, or suits that augment our physical abilities, then I understand that.

If you mean dependency-adaptation to permanent mechanical augmentation then I think you’re both mentally disturbed and dangerous.

If you mean incrementally adding (a) superior lactose processing, (b) longer telomeres, (c) heart and lung capacity, (d) increasing white matter capacity, (e) immune and inflammatory system correction and such, even if it means experimenting on human genomes with pruned brains, then I think that is ok.

‘Wet’ systems are superior to ‘Dry’ systems. Humans are incredibly energy efficient creatures given their size, speed, adaptability, and processing power. I can see the value of both purely wet and purely dry systems. But it is very hard to imagine that the consequences are not terrible if we do not seek self replication of wet systems in planetary and dry systems in interplanetary systems, and if we avoid at all costs the interdependence of the two. Life goes on. making it more fragile is not helping it.
